Hobby Lobby believes they
can be better servants to their customers when their employees are happy, feel
respected and honored. Employees in turn, pass along a better attitude and
approach to their colleagues and customers. Hobby Lobby has successfully dedicated
themselves to placing employees first, thereby reducing employee turnover, and
all while remaining profitable in one of the nation’s worst economic downturns.
Hobby Lobby shares its financial
success with its employees. This is evidenced by increasing the hourly wage for full-time employees to 80%
above the national minimum over a four-year period. Few companies can say they
share their financial success with their employees in the same way.
We are partnering with Hobby
Lobby to host Stratagy Circle at their expansive 4.1 million square-foot corporate
headquarters, manufacturing and distribution center in Oklahoma City. Participants
will interact with Hobby Lobby’s top management to learn the principles behind
programs and policies that allow them to build a team of dedicated workers. Learn
how Hobby Lobby can open over 30 new stores each year in a challenging economic
environment.
What started as a picture frame company founded in a garage by David Green in 1970, is today a major Oklahoma City-based private corporation ranking in the top 200 on Forbes List of America’s Largest Private Companies with revenues in excess of $3 billion.
With over 500 stores across the nation, this major Oklahoma City-based private corporation carries no long-term debt, is open only 66 hours per week, and closed every Sunday.
Limited to 100 attendees.

In our work with over 1,850 companies across the globe, we found a growing desire among key leaders to come together to learn how to lead their organizations in new ways. In response to this need, we created Stratagy Circle to bring together key leaders in groups of 100 to consider how to shape their organization’s culture.
Stratagy Circle is a 2 ½ day immersive case study into the operation and culture of the host organization. It is a practical, hands-on experience for executives and key leaders seeking a mixture of inspiration and instruction.
Each session is limited to 100 or less participants. Those invited to join Stratagy Circle are those who are currently shaping their organization's culture such as executives and key leaders.
Each session is hosted by organizations that have been selected due to their winning record regarding the key concept being showcased. Imagine how walking the halls of our host sites will give you an insiders view into how other organizations are working to shape and sustain their unique cultures.
In addition to hearing from influencers from the host organizations, you will also been given access to a core faculty that is comprised of some of the most qualified and talented practitioners in the world.
As leaders, we know how difficult it can be to find resources you can use in your company. Consequently, our staff works to make sure when you return home, you have concrete resources you can share with the rest of your team.
